umber of crypto services (including Monero) that offer a middleman type service to allow you to spend XMR and have a business get fiat.

So you buy Monero with fiat, just to convert that Monero to fiat again, so the vendor can receive fiat? What for?

Political statement? Ease of use? Social experiment? Ideological preference? Spending crypto you were paid in? A stand in until more merchants accept Monero directly? For no reason, but it's not hurting anybody and it's not illegal so why not?

Pick any of the above.
